Hoosierhoopster Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 The bad — 18 TO’s to 17 assists The good - Break out game for Franklin, Lander looking solid, Galloway strong, another easy win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Play like the first half = long winter Play like the second half = fun winter. Shooting well consistently has to start somewhere, hopefully the second half today was that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 It will be argued that this was inferior competition, but it was sure nice seeing IU stroke it from 3. ...and LOL at the people writing Armaan Franklin off before this game. I think he's going to be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Wonder if it was a deliberate plan by CAM to let them shoot in the second half. Even before they started falling they were taking more outside shots then we are accustomed to seeing. If so, I think that was a good plan; this team needed that second half.

go_iu_bb Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 33 of IU's 56 shots were 3-pointers. Have they had any other games under Miller where they took more 3s than 2s? Maybe the 1st season, I guess but I doubt the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Not to be Debbie downer, but watching the start of Mich-PSU and the leap in defensive intensity, athleticism, size and length compared to North Alabama is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Race has been not as assertive lately, would expect him to get more assertive again but sooner the better. Hunter’s shooting off today but 7 boards ties TJD for best on team. Lander shooting better and note Leal grabbed 3 assists to go with a little glimpse of his shooting.

I’ve been concerned CAM’s been holding back our outside shooting. Good to see a bit of green light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_iu_bb Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 58% from the FT line. They shot 45% against TN Tech but at least 69% in all the other games. This seems to indicate that they have a hard time getting mentally into games against bad competition. Or it's something about Assembly Hall. They appeared more in the game in the second half but they were also shooting a ton of 3s so not going to the line much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I liked the floor games of Leal and Galloway. Galloway hunts for a body to block out on rebounds. Both seem to have a good feel forthe game and do the little things to help win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless my tv isn't working...Florida St and Texas much better. Honestly some of the athletes Stanford had were much better than Penn St. Will be fun to see how some of these wins/losses play themselves out over a season.

DWB Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 If Lander can slow it down a hair I think the 4 Frosh can play well together. My MVP was Armaan, even before team high in points. Disappointed in Al & Rob today. Hopefully, it's an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUguy Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 What to say about this game? Bad: if this was a good team IU would have been blown out in the first half. Too many TO’s, terrible shooting and FT shooting, etc. Good: better second half but still too many foolish TO’s, 3 point shooting better, esp Franklin, who is turning into a player. Overall, concentration still lacking, be prepared to face zone defenses all year, and Lander is not as ready as advertised. That all said, team defense is excellent and will keep us in most games.

IU Scott Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 The offense looks better when shots go in. Been saying that Archie's offense is not bad because it gets you a lot of open shots. Everyone thought just because shots don't go in it had to be a bad offensive scheme but every offense looks better when shots go in. Shooting is all about confidence and being ready to shoot when you catch the ball and it appeared today we saw both of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I predicted the first half we would come out sloppy because it was a noon game on a Sunday. Also I thought this because we came off of 4 straight hard fought games and now we were playing a low major team. We saw that yesterday with UNC playing UNC Central but UNC never were able to blow out their opponent. Also today MSU was only up 4 at half against Oakland who was 0-6 and lost 3 games by over 40 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEKA Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think this team will gel nicely if we get to play most or all of the season. It's just so difficult to gauge how ANY team will react to the weirdness of playing in empty arenas and the general stress of the situation everyone is in. Good teams are going to flounder, and mediocre teams might thrive. It's just a very, very weird year. That said, nice to see some shooting and hustle on D. I loved that Geronimo inbounds steal and buzzer-beater. Kid is going to be a good one, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the game thread, Galloway gets in there, and through his hustle and making the correct basketball play, which I'm sure is pointed out to them, made at least Armaan, and to a point, Rob play better in the 2nd... Poor Jerome started ok, but rimmed out (his shot I'd so flat!) about 4, and had an air ball...his defense was atrocious at times...but I was glad to see him scrap on that rebound putback... I think Leal and Galloway realize that Archie evaluates every possession...and I think Leal earned himself more minutes with a game like today. Lander is the one that I think needs to rein it in a little. Archie wants him to make the correct basketball play, and I'm not sure he knows exactly what that is yet. He's so talented...but he's got to learn his role and perform in it...lead this team... facilitate...move the ball...scoring will come, but right now, he's forcing it...
